OK, so my guess is, oh, another week or so before Phil posts a calm,
reasonable (and correct) message here.

Guess it takes that long for the meds to take effect ...

Sometimes that doesn't work and you end up like Dave.

Hello, I have an ATX power supply. I tested it with a CD ROM drive
attached and noticed that the 12V rail gives me a lower voltage when
the CD tray is moving (11.79V against the usual 11.87V).
Could this be due to bad capacitors?

What others told you about only the 5 (or 3.3) being regulated is
true. As the load varies on that supply, the other voltages will rise
of fall based on the load current on the regulated supply. This is
normal and not broken. I first noticed this characteristic around 10
years ago when my power supply fan (runs on the 12 V supply) was
changing pitch depending on the processor activity. That machine
varied between 50 and 100 Watts.
